EIS Deep Survey Data Release Chandra Deep Field South HOME INDEX SEARCH HELP NEWS

09 May 2001: Updated Release of the JKs observations of the Chandra Deep Field South.        NOTE: The present release supersedes the original one of Sep 10 1999.

Description

This page provides links to single passband images, together with their corresponding weight maps, and to the object lists extracted from them. The images have been fully recalibrated (astrometry/photometry).
The image World Coordinate System (WCS) is referred to the COE projection. An IRAF tool for converting the WCS from COE projection to TAN projection is available as the reswcs task in the IRAF package EIS. The task is also included in the Scisoft IRAF installation and is available as a standalone version (FORTRAN).
Note that this task does not re-map the pixels and may introduce small astrometric errors at the edges of large images.

WARNING: The released weight maps for the SOFI observations (packages #: EIS_DEEP_001_ima, EIS_DEEP_002_ima) have been found to be corrupted (03/07/01). We are taking the necessary action to solve the problem. The corrected image packages will be realesed soon. We apologize the users for this inconvenience.

WARNING: Users have reported that the Infrared data for the Chandra Deep Field South show a systematic offset at faint magnitudes. Preliminary tests have suggested that the source of the problem may have been identified. An updated release for the Chandra Deep Field South data addressing the reported problems is expected by the end of January 2002.
